Dear Friends,

I would like to thank you for your interest and taking the time to visit our site. I feel deep gratitude especially for those who have supported us with this work. Thank you.

With an attitude that continues to reinforce our commitment towards the authentic shamanic traditions of the sacred medicine ayahuasca, we will be offering selected departures to Colombia this year (August & October 2012). We have included some basic details for you below. If you are interested in this retreat contact us for more details and additional photos. We prefer close personal contact with each person who considers making this transformational journey.

Additionally, we are very happy to announce a new series of retreats from our own home in Arizona.
Art of Transformations is a profound lifestyle experience. Our retreat uses an alchemy of raw living foods, movement, color, sound and other bridges to consciousness to reenergise your spirit! We hope that you will read about our new project and join us here at our home.

Heart of the Initiate is a project that was started 10 years ago. It has been the meeting place for many international visitors coming to work with ancient shamanic traditions. Warinei and his assistants Sara Ñusta and Catalina have shared their traditional ayahuasca ceremonies with people from all over the world, from all walks of life. Warinei has offered these ceremonies in strict accordance with the oldest and most sacred traditions of ayahuasca shamanism. These traditions are always passed forward from elder-teacher to student. This principle is the most critical aspect of this experience.

The ayahuasca ceremony is sacred. We have great admiration for the many experienced shamans across the planet who are now advancing very humble and traditional ceremonies with this sacred medicine. We have always hoped that Warinei's work has enabled others to receive lessons and find healing as we have had for ourselves. The world is at the very doorstep of many great changes. Human consciousness is waking up!

I have left a few articles here on the public area of our site that you can read if you like. I am continuing with several writing projects, so you can look for more articles in the future. We welcome you to subscribe to our site if you would like to have full access and periodic update about our most recent activities.

With enormous gratitude,

Welcome! We have organized a trip to Colombia for a small group of friends who wish to continue learning from ayahuasca medicine. Visiting Colombia carries a very special energy unlike any other South American country we have visited. The upper Amazon regions of the Putumayo and Valley of Sibundoy are the very birthplace of the ayahuasca tradition. It is home to shamanic traditions that are only known by the indigenous cultures who have guarded these secrets for eons.
